Moussa Diaby Scout Report

Moussa Diaby, playing primarily as a striker along with right winger and attacking midfielder for Aston Villa this season, shows marked versatility and threat in the attacking half. He excels in keeping possession with robust ball retention capability. Diaby also displays notable skills in progressive carrying and passing, suggesting his ability to drive the ball forward and make key passes that lead to scoring chances. His chance creation and pass accuracy further validate his attacking prowess, which is matched by a commendable rate of assists. Conversely, his goal efficiency and direct threat on goal seem to be areas where improvement is needed, as these areas do not match his otherwise impressive offensive portfolio. Diaby's significantly low scores for one vs. one defending, penalty area defending, and aerial and ground duels indicates that his defensive contribution is minimal which, while not entirely surprising for a forward player, may be an area to develop to round off his profile. Even though he's been in possession a fair amount, he needs to capitalise more on these opportunities to enhance his goal engagement. Despite some weaker areas, Diaby's overall performance speaks to a dynamic, formidable, and promising young player.
